Join us for a special event for women leaders in education by women leaders in education.
Research shows that women hold 75 percent of all teaching positions across the United States but hold only 30 percent of leadership positions—the largest gap of any industry. The Women in Education: Leading Perspectives Institute is designed to empower women to rise up and take the lead in their school communities.
Whether you are a leader wanting to hone your skills or are an aspiring leader preparing to break into a new position, this event is for you. Connect to a community of women educators, hear high-impact talks, contribute to candid conversations, and participate in a learning lab offering a deep dive into topics that will help unlock your leadership potential.
